Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Grown With Kindness Blog Hop

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Pop Up Blog Hop as we share alternative ideas for the February Grown Wit Kindness kit. This beautiful kit features supplies to create 9 full size cards and I just love the photo realistic designer series paper and the amazing stamp set included in this kit. 
To showcase this beautiful paper, I took one of the pieces of designer series paper and cut it into two 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" pieces. I matted one piece with Fresh Fig cardstock and the other with Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. 

Using the striped card base I attached the Fresh Fig matted piece to the card front and added the stamped sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals and the smaller sentiment with Snail adhesive. For a touch of bling, I added two of the rhinestones from the kit to the large sentiment and tied a small bow with the Whisper White Baker's Twine and added it to the bottom with a Mini Glue Dot.
For the second card I used the Basic Black card base and added the Lemon Lime Twist matted piece with Snail Adhesive. I stamped the teacup image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with a variety of Stampin' Blend Markers and fussy cut it out. I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the 1 3/8" Scalloped Circle Punch. I layered it onto the Fresh Fig Banner from the kit and added the teacup to the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. 
As you can see, I used mainly supplies from this wonderful kit to create my alternate card designs, with just a few scraps of Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig and Whisper White cardstock to embellish. 

I just love the teacup stamp and it was so much fun to color with the Stampin' Blends Markers. The variety of sentiments that come with the stamp set in this kit is wonderful and helps create a variety of cards.

Ink. Stamp. Share. February Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. February Blog Hop as we share our ideas and projects featuring Sale-a-bration products. With just over a month to go to take advantage of the Free rewards during Sale-a-bration, I hope our creations help inspire you to get creative. 

Today I thought I would share one of the new Sale-a-bration stamp sets from the 2nd Release. The All Adorned stamp set (item #149728) is a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can choose with a US$50 (not including S&H and Taxes) for Free. This beautiful photopolymer stamp set contains both intricate images and wonderful sentiments to help you create your projects.
I chose to use Highland Heather cardstock for my card base and I stamped one of the images with Highland Heather Classic ink all over the card front to create a background. I added a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock that I die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies (item #148551) from the 2019 Occasions Catalog with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a piece of Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon (item #148764) around the center of the cardstock. 

The sentiment was stamped with Gorgeous Grape Classic ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I also die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies. I just love how beautiful the stitched detail created by these dies. I attached this piece onto the Gorgeous Grape cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I love the clean and simple design of this card and that I was able to create it with just this stamp set. I love the combination of Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather together for an almost royal feel to the card design.  You could easily change the color combination or a different combination of the images from this stamp set to come up with a completely different design. This is a very versatile stamp set that you could use for a variety of occasions.


Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design has inspired you to get creative and try the Sale-a-bration products that Stampin' Up! has to offer.
